Introducing: The Jaguar Warrior

When an Aztec noble warrior stepped his game up and took 4 captives, he was then inducted into one of two very special warrior societies. One of these two societies was based on the fierce and powerful jaguar, a highly revered and respected beast (I'll tell you about the other society real soon). Jaguar warriors were some of the most famous warriors in all of Aztec culture; they are celebrated countless times in art and in story and they maintained an inspiring position on and off the battlefield.

When these guys appear things will start to get serious. We will be using these decorated warriors to indicate stiffer competition, which is a classic trick typically done with palette swaps. The idea here is to be able to look at an enemy (in spite of the aesthetic similarity they all bear) and know what you're up against, which is essentially what the Aztecs did with their warriors as a way to trumpet the caliber of their military might.
